Google Cuts Google AI Plus to $4.99/Month and Doubles Storage to 400GB — Vikas Kansal Announces the First U.S. Mid-Tier AI-Subscription Price Cut, Keeping Gemini 3.1 Pro Access, Omni Flash Video Generation, the Daily Brief Agent, and Gmail AI Inbox at the New Price
Google's Gemini-subs lead Vikas Kansal announced AI Plus drops from $7.99 to $4.99/month and storage doubles to 400GB. Price change hits at the next billing cycle; storage rolls out over several days.
Google chops 37% off its mid-tier AI subscription and doubles the storage — the first big U.S. consumer AI-plan price cut.
Key specs
| Old price | $7.99/mo |
|---|---|
| New price | $4.99/mo |
| Storage before | 200GB |
| Storage after | 400GB |
| Effective price cut | 37.5% |
What is it?
Google AI Plus is the cheapest of Google's three paid Gemini subscriptions, sitting below AI Pro and AI Ultra and aimed at individual users and students. Google trimmed the monthly fee from $7.99 to $4.99 and lifted the included Google One storage from 200GB to 400GB.
How does it work?
Existing subscribers stay on the same plan — the price change kicks in at each user's next billing cycle, and the storage bump rolls out gradually over several days. Plan benefits are unchanged: 2× the free-tier Gemini usage limits, Gemini 3.1 Pro in the Gemini app, Omni Flash video generation, the new Daily Brief agent that summarizes a user's day, NotebookLM, and Gmail AI Inbox (U.S.).
Why does it matter?
First mid-tier U.S. AI-subscription price cut, signaling that consumer AI plans in the West have started commoditizing the way they already did in markets like India. It puts pressure on the $20 ChatGPT Plus and $20 Claude Pro tiers and previews where AI Pro and Ultra pricing may eventually land.
